# Sid Smith (novelist)

Sid Smith (born c. 1949) is an English novelist poet and journalist.

## Life and career

Smith was born in Preston, Lancashire. For seven years he worked in labouring jobs, including dustman, gardener, gravedigger and construction worker. Since then he has hitch-hiked 9,000 miles around the US, lived in Italy and Greece, and acquired a pilot's licence for paragliders.
Smith came late to literary prominence. He had been a journalist for 17 years, including two years as a sub-editor on The Times, and was already in his 50s when his debut novel Something Like A House was published in 2001. The tale of a British deserter in China at the time of the Cultural Revolution, Something Like a House won critical praise and went on to win both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Whitbread First Novel Award. What was remarkable about the book was its meticulous evocation of time and place, especially since Smith had never been to China and had written the book entirely from his own research, conducted among other places in the British Library. Smith says that his only previous contact with China had been a "one-hour stopover at Hong Kong airport". He claims that "the only ticket you need is a library ticket". However, his novels portray the gritty details of manual labour, about which he may claim to be knowledgeable.
Smith's second novel, A House by the River (2003), was another adventure story set in China. His third, China Dreams (2007), has the theme of a Londoner who is obsessed with China but has never been there.
Smith is a sub-editor on The Times.
His website at http://www.sidsmith.co.uk/index.htm is constantly updated with short stories, journalism and poetry.

Smith was married with full Shinto rites to Chieko Nomura at a shrine in Southern Japan. He lives in Islington in north London.

# Metcalfe, Ontario

Metcalfe is a population centre located in Osgoode Ward, in the rural south-end of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Prior to amalgamation in 2001, the community was in Osgoode Township. According to the Canada 2016 Census, it has a population of 1,776.

## History

Colonel Archibald Macdonell, believed by some to be the first settler in Osgoode Township, settled just south of the current location of Metcalfe in March 1827. The village was originally called Hawley’s Corners, but in 1877 it was renamed to Metcalfe in honour of Charles Theophilus Metcalfe, Governor General of Canada from 1843 to 1846.
In its early days, Metcalfe was a stop on the stagecoach route from Ottawa (known at the time as Bytown) to Cornwall. The village of Metcalfe was bypassed in the construction of railway lines, limiting its further growth. The railway line to Cornwall passed to the east, through the town of Russell, while another to Prescott passed to the west through Osgoode Village.
By 1866, Metcalfe was a post village with a population of 250 of the township of Osgoode, nine miles from the Osgoode station on the Ottawa and Prescott Railway, and twenty miles from Ottawa. The village contained four general stores, an ashery, one wagon shop, five boot and shoe shops, and three carpenters. The 6th Division Court was held here, at the Victoria Hall. It contained the Metcalfe grammar school, and a common school; three churches, the Church of England, the Free Church of Scotland, and the Wesleyan Methodist. The Loyal Orange Lodge No. 205, met on the second Tuesday in each month while No. 688, met on the first Tuesday in each month.
In the fall of 2008, parts of Metcalfe were used as sets in the filming of the Syfy television film Carny.

## Schools

* Metcalfe Public School
* St. Catherine Catholic School
* Community Christian School
* Osgoode Township High School - The only high school in the township of Osgoode.

## Sports

The village is home to various sports facilities, most notably the Metcalfe Community Centre which bears the name of former Montreal Canadiens all-star defenceman Larry Robinson. The Centre's arena houses the local Junior C hockey team: the Metcalfe Jets. Notable Jets alumni include Larry Robinson and two of his brothers, as well as Boston Bruins' Marc Savard. It also hosts the Metcalfe skating club for figure skating and canskate.
The small community also boasts the home to one golf course (Metcalfe Golf Club), seven baseball fields, a tennis court, curling club, and various soccer fields.

## Today

The village today serves largely as a residential community for the City of Ottawa. The local agricultural fair, the Metcalfe Fair, has been held each fall since 1856.

# KTIC (AM)

KTIC (840 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Like its sister music station KTIC-FM, it is licensed to West Point, Nebraska, United States. The station serves eastern Nebraska and the Sioux City area. The station is owned by the Nebraska Rural Radio Association and features programming from CBS News Radio.
The main focus of KTIC is to provide area farmers with the most current market information from the Rural Radio Network. Futures Updates and Ag News plays every hour during the trading day at 10 and 40 minutes past each hour. News and weather updates come at the bottom of each hour with ABC news as well as more regionally centered news being the main focus. Many agricultural organizations in the area have programming slots on KTIC to accommodate the interests of the farmers and ranchers in the area. Two low-powered translators at 98.3 FM in West Point and 98.7 FM in Norfolk simulcast KTIC's programming.
KTIC must shut down its main AM transmitter at night in order to protect clear-channel WHAS in Louisville, which is also located on AM 840. As such, its operating hours vary depending on the time of year. However, the translators remain on the air 24 hours a day.
# WEPV-LP

WEPV-LP is a Catholic Religious formatted broadcast radio station. The station is licensed to Hampton, Virginia and serving Hampton and Newport News in Virginia. WEPV-LP is owned and operated by St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church.
# Dexanabinol

Dexanabinol (HU-211 or ETS2101) is a synthetic cannabinoid derivative in development by e-Therapeutics plc. It is the "unnatural" enantiomer of the potent cannabinoid agonist HU-210. Unlike other cannabinoid derivatives, HU-211 does not act as a cannabinoid receptor agonist, but instead as an NMDA antagonist. It therefore does not produce cannabis-like effects, but is anticonvulsant and neuroprotective, and is widely used in scientific research as well as currently being studied for applications such as treating head injury, stroke, or cancer. It was shown to be safe in clinical trials and is currently undergoing Phase I trials for the treatment of brain cancer and advanced solid tumors.

## Clinical trials

Dexanabinol has been studied in IV administration and oral dosing. e-Therapeutics is evaluating the compound in clinical trials for brain and solid cancers. Phase II studies are planned based on the results of the current trials.
A phase 1b study for hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer was started in 2015.

## Legal status

HU-211 is not listed in the schedules set out by the United Nations' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs from 1961 nor their Convention on Psychotropic Substances from 1971, so the signatory countries to these international drug control treaties are not required by said treaties to control HU-211.

### United States

HU-211 is not listed in the list of scheduled controlled substances in the USA. It is therefore not scheduled at the federal level in the United States, but it is possible that HU-211 could legally be considered an analog of Delta-8-THC (one of the THC isomers which is in Schedule I under the designation of "Tetrahydrocannabinols"), and therefore sales or possession could potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act.
HU-211 is a Schedule I controlled substance in Alabama.
HU-211 is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.
Effective January 1, 2016, HU-211 is a regulated drug in Vermont designated as a "Hallucinogenic Drug."

# Chrome steel

Chrome steel is the name for any one of a class of non-stainless steels such as AISI 52100, SUJ2, 100Cr6, En31, 100C6, and DIN 5401 which are used for applications such as bearings, tools, drills and utensils. Like stainless steel, chrome steels contain chromium, but do not have the corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel. It has been made from ferrochrome since it was developed around 1877 by J. B. Boussingault and Henri Aimé Brustlein [fr] of Jacob Holtzer steelworks in Unieux, France.
# Michael Eke

Michael Eke (born 1968) is the former employee of Cambridgeshire Police who received an MBE that was later stripped following his conviction for fraud.
A native of March, Cambridgeshire, Eke had created bogus events for young children and gained thousands of pounds in National Lottery grants that funded the non-existent schemes. He had received the MBE in 2003, but was first suspected of fraud as part of an RAF (due to his handling of the ATC Squadron he commanded) and subsequent police investigation two years later. Eke had gained false references to get his job as stationery manager, and then stole computers from the police.
Eke was found guilty of theft and deception at Norwich Crown Court on 30 August 2006. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison on 3 October, and he was stripped of his MBE on 28 November.
He was also ordered to pay £26,935 to the March Air Training Corps (of which he was officer commanding) and £13,325 to Awards for All, a lottery grants scheme. To this date he is the only member of the ATC to have been court martialed.
His sister, Mrs Beryl Hudson, disowned him, claiming he had stolen thousands of pounds from his dying mother, and then took his children on a day trip to Hunstanton the day she died. He was released from prison in July 2007.
